“We were absolutely blown away … I loved the heavenly sleeves, that was amazing, I couldn’t believe it, I was absolutely mesmerised. And I loved the handkerchief dance as well and the costumes were just to die for, absolutely the colours and the brilliance of them, just really touched me—felt something on the inside, and I was all tingly.”

“As soon as the show started, I’m not sure if it was the music or the way it all unfolded, it really made me feel something inside and it was just wonderful, really absolutely wonderful.”

“It made me want to find out more and I heard that they do a different performance each year, so I will definitely come back for more. I really want to see more. … the history and the culture, it is very, very inspiring, it really did touch me.”

“ She [the erhu soloist] was amazing, the sound of that was incredible and I also like the tenor as well, he was very, very good. Really good. … I just loved to listen to how he was singing those words as well and the deepness of that—it was very good.”
